Letters Patent No. 94,408, :lated August 31, 1869.

nlPROvEll/[ENT IN FASTENING- METAL TUBES TO GLASS CUPS OR VESSELS' The Schedule referred'to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GREGORY Gannon, of Albany, in the county ot' Albany, and St-ate of New York, have inventeda new and improved Fastening for Metallic Tubes to Glass Oups or Vessels; and I do hereby declare the following to be a fnll,c1ear, and exact description thereof, which Will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which drawing- Figure 1 represents a detached section of the glass vessel.

Figure 2 is a similar section of the metal tube.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal 'central section of' the glass vessel an'd metal tube after the same have been fastened together. l

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

`This invention consists in the. arrangement of a metallic cup-shaped socket, which 'is fastened tovthe metal tube below its' end, and made of such a. size that it is capable-of receiving the neck of the glass vessel which is to be secured to said metal tube, the end of the tube projecting beyond the cup-shaped .socket being just long enough to extend a short distance beyond the inner edge of the neekof the glass vessel in such a manner, that by inserting said neck into the c .lp-shaped socket, and turning the inner endof the metal tube over the edge of the neck, a firm and substantial fastening between the metal tube and glass vessel is effected with orwithout the use of cement.

In the drawing- Y The letterA designates a glass vessel of a-ny desirable form or shape,and provided with a neck, a, to.

which the metal tube B is to be fastened.

This metal tube is just thick enough vto pass freely into the neck a ofthe glass vessel, and it is provided with a cup-shaped socket, l, whchis fastened to it at some distance from its end, as drawing.

This cup-shaped socket is'jnst large enough yto re- 4 ceive the neck of the bottle, and the tube B extends through said socket to such a distance, that when the neck ofthe glass vessel is placed into the socket, the inner end of the tube projects beyond the inner edge of the neck. Ifthe neck is properly adjusted in the socket, therefore, the tube B can-be readily fastened to, the vesselA simply by turning its inner end out over the -inner edge 'of the neck a, and this fastening. can be rendered perfectly vtight even without the. use of cement. be filled with plaster' of Paris or other suitable cement previous to introducing the neck of the glass vessel,

and thereby the fastening can be rendered still rmore' A fastening for metal tubes to glass vessels, consist-V ing 'of the cup-shaped socket b .secured to the tubeB, and capable of receiving the neck a of the glass vessel, the end of the tube B being made to project through said neck, and turned out over its edge or shoulder, allas shown and described.

This specification signed by me, thisvZlst day of June, 1869.
